Prayer

"The Power of God's Promise" is discussed on pages 11 and 12. The verses to read and consider are Genesis 9:8-17. Genesis 9:16 states, "And the [rain]bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth." In Noah's time, "the earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence" (Genesis 6:11). Noah, however, was a just and wholehearted man who walked with God. The LORD could have destroyed the world and every living creature; yet, He saved Noah and his family. The rainbow is a reminder of God's promise. He will never again send a world-wide flood. God keeps His promises! Our faith in the LORD strengthens when we place our trust in His promises and express that trust through our actions and words. On page 12, Stormie Omartian says the following:  "By asserting our belief in His promises in prayer, we put ourselves in a position to see a lot more from God's perspective and a lot less from the enemy's."
